Effects and Uses

Coconut oil has antiseptic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, strengthening, and firming effects. It is excellent for body and hair care. It is suitable for skin with fresh wounds and scars, as it tightens and aids in their healing. Conversely, it is not suitable for very oily skin, where it can cause pore clogging.

When it comes to coconut oil, it is essential to distinguish between quality (form), which has a significant impact on its functionality. While coconut fat is suitable for cooking or soap making, where it provides bubble formation, hardness, and primarily cleansing properties, virgin coconut oil is suitable for direct skin and hair care.
